"In-dimenticabili", per un invecchiamento attivo: un esempio dell'importanza della vecchiaia per il benessere sociale

Description

The project "Un-forgettables" (In-dimenticabili), in continuity with the activities reali- zed in Genoa since 2002, aims at research and enhancement of the quality of life, focusing in old age. The main principles of the project are the development and improvement of inter-generational relationships, and the use of arts and practical activities as a form of ap- proach for physical, mental and social wellness. In 2002 prof. Antonio Guerci organized the international conference Living and "Curing" Old Age in the World: the interest and success of the meeting have led to the approval of the regional law of Liguria, for the "promotion and enhancement of active aging" (law no. 48 of 2009) and later on, in 2014, to the establish- ment at the University of Genoa of the UNESCO Chair "Anthropology of Health. Biosphere and Healing Systems", headed by prof. Guerci, also director the Ethnomedicine Museum "A. Scarpa". "Un-forgettables" was born in 2012 and had as first promoters and creators the photographer Alberto Terrile, the psychotherapist Vania Piludu and myself, with the constant support of prof. Antonio Guerci.
